So, some people noticed that what’s been keeping me busy and away from Star Wars is working for UPP (the biggest VFX house in Central Europe) on movies like Blade Runner 2049 and Wonder Woman. My contributions on those projects were pretty small - I basically just did some rotoscoping, because when I started in January, I had only just started learning Nuke (the software most professional studios use for VFX compositing, which is fundamentally different from what I’d been using before) but I have since worked my way up to a Nuke compositor and I’m working on some other interesting projects right now.

The funny thing is, that my quasi-fame from my Star Wars work had very little to do with me getting this job - most people in the company don’t even know about it. Also, the job I had before this gig payed about four times as much but it’s totally worth it, because this is my dream-job, which I thought I’d never be able to get.

Now, I’d like to repeat this request and ask any volunteers to send a PM and I’ll send you the instructions and assign you a reel to work on (is there a quick list somewhere of the reels start and end, so I can link it?):

Guys - I could use some help - I need is someone helping me catalogue all the shots that need despecializing and making a system that will make it easier for me to keep track of the shots and what they need done.
My idea is this spreadsheet, where I could keep track of the progress on all the shots:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NwFnvrRp3CnyDOdr9W1__8PLBGwH8WOKkl8mjke8LQs/edit?usp=sharing

So, would I find volunteers, who would help me by going through Doubleofive’s galleries and putting all the shots down in this table and looking them up in GOUT and BD and putting in the timecodes?

When this is done and I start working on v3.0, the plan is to keep the table public for viewing, so you guys can check on my progress and every once in a while, when all shots in a sequence have status Pending Final, I want to post the sequence as a work-print and only after I get positive feedback on it, I will mark the shots as final.

This will make you guys more involved again, like in the old times, and it should help keep me more motivated. 😃

hi all. im sorry if this is answered before but i was searching this thread , where is the link to get this version…

I had to go to Wal-Mart and by the Blu-Ray collection for all three. I’ll probably never even watch those.

All I have are receipts showing that I bought a copy and sold it.
Those two receipts are my entire Star Wars collection.

I mean, I agree with everyone else that this goes against the rules, but I picked up my copy of The Complete Saga for 25$ second hand at a garage sale (which I still own). At least Lucasfilm got their cut from you. I refuse to buy the original trilogy (or the prequel trilogy) at retail price AGAIN until the original versions are presented in passable quality. They’ve got my money from the 2000 VHS copies, the 2006 DVD’s and the prequels in theaters (and the 3D re-release of The Phantom Menace).

I really can’t stand this sort of discussion in general, on both sides.

The mods are on it.

Rule 6 of the Fan edit/preservation forum rules and FAQ, states:-

‘6. Before obtaining any fan edits, you must be in ownership of the official retail release.’

Also… ‘For Harmy’s DE project, this means YOU MUST OWN AN OFFICIAL HD RELEASE for each respective film (i.e. Star Wars Episodes IV, V, & VI), such as the official Blu-ray Disks or digital purchase’ - The Ultimate Introductory Guide

Back on topic…

and also to Harmy’s request for some assistance with Despecialized, here:-

But what I’d really need is someone helping me catalogue all the shots that need despecializing and making a system that will make it easier for me to keep track of the shots and what they need done.

Yep. Haven’t received a single PM yet.
And yes, you’re supposed to actually own the Blu-Rays. If you bought them second hand, it’s ok, because then it’s like the person you’re buying it from didn’t buy it from Lucasfilm and you did - it follows logically, that if you sell it, it’s like you never bought it from Lucasfilm.

I don’t see this as any different from, say, car ownership. If I sell a car, I can no longer use it. The person who bought it can. The same logic applies to your ownership of the rights to screen Star Wars in your home, represented in this case by legal possession of the Blu-Rays.

I didn’t mean to break any rules.
I kept the receipt as it’s tied to my debit card which is tied to my bank which is tied to me which proves, undisputedly, that LFL got my money for the big boxset.
I’ll go buy the thing second hand tomorrow afternoon. No problem.

^ Well in and thanks for clarifying - and sorting out the issue mate.

Still just one PM. (Thank you ZigZig!!!)
Here’s the description I wrote up of what I need done, jst so people have an idea what they’d be volunteering for:

Open the Despecialized v3.0 tasksheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NwFnvrRp3CnyDOdr9W1__8PLBGwH8WOKkl8mjke8LQs/edit#gid=0
Open Doublefives gallery: https://doubleofive.wordpress.com/swsevc/
Open the NTSC GOUT (or Despecialized or something else synced to it) and open the BD version.

For each shot in 005’s gallery, right-click the image and "copy image address"
Then go to the tasksheet, double-click on the placeholder image and replace the adress in the pop-up box with the address of the 005 image.

Then copy the scrpiption from 005’s gallery and paste it in the description column.

Next find the shot in both the GOUT and the BD and put in the time codes - these are just for me to find the shots more easily on the timeline, so they don’t need to be super precise.

Leave all the drop-down options on the default of “To Do” or “Not Ready” - I will handle those when I start working on the shots.

Important notes: 005’s galleries aren’t always in perfect chronological order, so you may stumble across a shot, that is supposed to belong between two shots you’ve already put in the sheet. This is why I made the shot naming convention with hundred increments, so that when from example you’ve already done shots SW-R1-S00400 and SW-R1-S00500 and you find a shot that is supposed to go between them, you can right click the line number of SW-R1-S00400 and click “Insert one below” and then copy the line above to it and edit it and name the shot SW-R1-S00410.

Also, sometimes, when a change has occurred across an entire scene, like the lightsaber recompositing, for example, it is only represented in the gallery by a few examples but I need each individual shot to be on the spreadsheet.

That’s pretty much it. Please let me know, if you have any questions.

Also, can someone please help me find some place, where it is described when the reel changes in SW occur?

Oh, and BTW, the volunteers will get a special credit column in the 3.0 credits 😉
